Probably the best edit ever coming out of VT. I'm proud that this came from my state.

Great to see some single crown shredding going on, without a full face lid too.

Steamer19 (Nov 11, 2013 at 18:31)

Absolutely. Awesome riding and great editing. Who needs all that protective equipment??

That was an amazing video, showed how fall riding is just as good as July or August. I'm guessing vod within a week?

flowyridestilltherestofmylife (Nov 10, 2013 at 22:31)

Could and should be!

mountguitars (Nov 11, 2013 at 9:25)

no reason this video shouldn't be a video of the day where there are Vods where there's only 6 seconds of riding.

gossman (Nov 11, 2013 at 9:03)

Amazing video Henry/Skyline! Straight off the meat rack. VT is taking over the bike world like we do everything else! Look out for the maple syrup chugging flannel freaks, we're coming for you!!

broccolirob (Nov 11, 2013 at 9:48)

Nice. I used to live in VT. Wishing I had a Long Trail Ale to go along with this awesome Vid

mtbmaniatv FL (Nov 11, 2013 at 14:33)

wow good call i miss that stuff from back east

DMal FL (Nov 10, 2013 at 23:36)

Good stuff. Vermont riding is legit.

mtbvt (Nov 11, 2013 at 19:18)

Henry, thanks again for the increadible amount of work you have done for us and the community at large. A hug and a high five to you my friend!

mark3 (Nov 11, 2013 at 11:12)

what a great vid, it wants to make me go out and ride my bike, also as good as whistler looks, it a refreshing change to see some am style trail riding as well, so please pinkbike put more vids up like this

MadJeeperCJ5 (Nov 12, 2013 at 19:21)

Big props to these guys for getting this great video together AND for show casing some of the finest spots to ride in VT. I live about 45mins north of the US / VT border (Bromont Canada area) and I have to admit I spend a lot of time in VT riding every year. Great cider and a lot of local micro brews for cheap... can't go wrong! MTBVT all the way.

zeGG (Nov 11, 2013 at 4:33)

Where are those trails? Burke?

skierdude52689 (Nov 11, 2013 at 5:09)

not the kingdom...most likely stowe area

g11rant87 (Nov 11, 2013 at 5:47)

well played gents. Good to see some quality footy from our trails here in Stowe!

tlilly (Nov 11, 2013 at 8:01)

THAT WAS AWESOME! Got me stoked to ride. Nice work!

dannyhuber (Nov 11, 2013 at 18:47)

Best part of this video is that Deer Tick is in it...Edits that clearly have an appreciation for good music make me happy.

trimakas (Nov 14, 2013 at 7:46)

This vid had such a great vibe to it. Amazing riding, beautiful filming, and sick trails. I'll be shocked if this vid doesn't get VOD!

heckers1son (Nov 10, 2013 at 23:36)

Living in Australia, i get so bloody jealous of these amazing trails in the beautiful locations! Not to mention seeing snow!

Nutcracker (Nov 11, 2013 at 19:28)

What's wrong with blown out, loose and dusty trails? Riding in a dust cloud on trails with no grip makes you waaay faster when you finally get to ride somewhere that has rain and sticky dirt.

halld15 (Nov 11, 2013 at 9:57)

need someone to do something like that at the Ascutney Vt trails

CChouinard (Nov 11, 2013 at 21:37)

If you ever get a chance to ride in VT you need to go to Millsone Hill in Barre.

frdh (Nov 10, 2013 at 21:54)

damn, where these trails at in vt!?!? video was awesome.

potthead (Nov 11, 2013 at 5:22)

these are stowe/Waterbury area, some bits of it are secret. theres a TON of illegal/secret spots in VT

rclugnut (Nov 11, 2013 at 7:47)

I won't tell i promise

VTsingletrack (Nov 11, 2013 at 8:40)

One segment is Perry Hill in Waterbury, VT - 100% legal and awesome. The other spots are super fun and best enjoyed/discovered while on a shop ride or similar

rclugnut (Nov 11, 2013 at 10:50)

I'll have to try and check that out before the snow flies what with most of the fellowship closed down...

loamhunter78 FL (Nov 10, 2013 at 22:46)

Ok.... So I'm ready to move to Vermont now!

shredjekyll (Nov 11, 2013 at 6:11)

There is incredible riding in MA, NH, Vermont, Maine

VTwintips (Nov 11, 2013 at 19:11)

Upstate New York'd be pretty similar too. Maine would be pretty flat in most places though. Massachusetts would be highly questionable. Check some topographic maps.

shredjekyll (Nov 11, 2013 at 20:32)

VTwintips you have no idea what you're talking about regarding MA......highly questionable.... LOL ..... there is a TON of awesome riding (a lot of it bike-specific, and more is popping up every year).... first off the entire West side of the state is very mountainous, so you know there is awesome biking all over the place, then out in Central and Eastern you have Leominster state forest, Lynn, Vietnam, Middlesex, Harold Parker, Blue Hills, Great Brook, Russell Mill, LDT, Purgatory Chasm, Willowdale, tons of trails in Groton, Pearl Hill, I could literally go on for days..... I've ridden in Colorado, Utah, Cali, Maine, Vermont, NH, and NY and MA is 100% comparable and a lot better in some aspects (such as lack of crowding and ease of access - I have a ridiculous amount of options within 45 minutes of my house.... over 100 trail systems)

This video was AWESOME but you could produce a very, very, very similar video in MA.

Not to mention, growing up riding in MA has prepared me for nearly any type of riding. Areas like Lynn and Vietnam have been known to throw around some really solid riders.

Lastly, I live in the dead center of MA and I can walk out my back door, hop on my bike, ride 30 seconds through a trail in my woods, cross one road, and I am at the entrance to a trail system and at the bottom of a 600ft climb (whether I go left or right) that makes for a sick downhill on the way back.... I can also ride out my backdoor and bike for 40-50 miles without being on roads for more than 3-5 minutes total.

shredjekyll (Nov 11, 2013 at 20:58)

Also, weird coincidence... but I was just looking at Perry Hill on Strava and noticed that the guy who has a few KOM's on some of the segments there like "Perry Hill Yellow Loop" whose name on Strava is "Biff Tannen" actually rides at Leominster State Forest in MA a ton because he grew up in MA... that is pro mountain bike racer Adam Snyder hahaha. I've actually managed to take a few KOM's from him around here. Fast rider thats for sure.

shredjekyll (Nov 11, 2013 at 21:06)

Just noticed the riders in this video are on strava too

VTsingletrack (Nov 12, 2013 at 7:29)

@shred, had a great day at Vietnam a couple years ago. Was jonesing to ride in late March so made the trip down. Was not disappointed, great fun.

shredjekyll (Nov 12, 2013 at 7:35)

Glad to hear it! It is even better nowadays thanks to NEMBA! Unfortunately there might be a casino getting built by Trump that could put some of the trails at risk, sucks. I can't believe I forgot Charlemont... awesome riding and plenty of elevation.. went on a 26 miler there a few weeks ago and climbed 6000ft.

LavenderGooms (Nov 10, 2013 at 23:42)

This was like a mini Life Cycles.

jfry94 (Nov 11, 2013 at 11:27)

not just me that thinks it is then.

kerberos FL (Nov 11, 2013 at 4:31)

Interesting, looking at the woods I would have guessed those trails are located somewhere in central Europe.

bogey (Nov 11, 2013 at 9:27)

Great video boys. Makes me want to get out for some sweet trail riding RIGHT NOW!

milestogo (Nov 12, 2013 at 12:21)

Great vid, great group of guys, too. Awesome seeing the local talent on PB!

slowrider998 (Nov 13, 2013 at 15:37)

That was video of the year for sure,solid riding there as well!Not saying this because ive ridden near there.

vt6spd (Apr 25, 2014 at 19:31)

Love the last segment of the Perry Hill Trails...that's my home town trails...

I love home!

loganjo (Nov 10, 2013 at 21:57)

Yesssssss... VOD

Knowthatburger (Nov 11, 2013 at 8:47)

Finally a sweet edit on my local trails... sup Perry Hill!

pedalmetal (Nov 11, 2013 at 10:50)

Oh my, that was lovely. Some rad filming and trail slaying. Stoked!

goss (Nov 11, 2013 at 16:32)

Waterbury VT is sick!!!!!

DaddyWhite (Nov 12, 2013 at 14:02)

East/Right Coast, we go HARD!!!! Sick edit, great riding and lots of LOAM!

cubsrtbest99 (Nov 10, 2013 at 19:56)

occitan (Nov 10, 2013 at 22:52)

You know the first music?
Thank you!

vikingskull1000 (Nov 11, 2013 at 0:51)

1) Where the boats go - M83
2) Standing at the threshold - Deer Tick
3) The way we move - Langhorne slim & the law

Rang (Nov 11, 2013 at 21:58)

Great music. My kinda soundtrack. Mountain music for mountain people.

olddog (Nov 11, 2013 at 22:45)

these guys shred but deer tick, the second track are gods naked gods

GXMV (Nov 12, 2013 at 22:42)

AnalTerroR (Nov 11, 2013 at 5:49)

Reminds me Life cycles. Amazing!

rttshepard (Nov 11, 2013 at 6:30)

Kingdom trails is possibly the best spot to ride in all of VT

shredjekyll (Nov 12, 2013 at 7:43)

yessir and they arent in this video

pushingbroom (Nov 11, 2013 at 10:54)

Thanks for the sweet edit.

kingdom up

Below threshold threads are hidden

olddog (Nov 11, 2013 at 21:16)

these guys made VT look really awesome but its some of the least technical riding I've ever done. utter shit. glaciers turned most of it into parking area/bike park stuff

shredjekyll (Nov 12, 2013 at 7:42)

Come on down to MA if you want tech!

the303kid (Nov 12, 2013 at 10:42)

Having come from arguably some of the most tech trail systems on the east coast (North Jersey is ALL rock although MCBP would make you think differently) I can understand how some would view the riding in Vermont lacking in technical trails. However upon moving here and getting to know the trails I have to say this state has EVERYTHING to offer. Perry and the other Stowe area trails are kept like that to be tourist friendly and ultimately grow the scene here. But go hit up Hinesburg Town Forest or race Killington and you will be eating your words olddog.

Sick of seeing ' the fall ' to describe a season , what season is after the fall ? All fallen or ' snow and wind ' ?

peterlengyel (Nov 11, 2013 at 1:03)

here is short fall video from european woods with Jakub Vencl & Teo Kovac www.pinkbike.com/video/338977

sniggled (Nov 11, 2013 at 6:34)

In Vermont the seasons go: Winter, Mud, Spring, Rain, Summer, Foliage, Fall, Stick. In that order.

IllestT (Nov 10, 2013 at 23:30)

Meh. Pretty average

thelumberjack (Nov 11, 2013 at 4:07)

In terms of no rampage drops? Perhaps.... but an awesome vibe and Im always a sucker for a cool bike shop shot! I think it was flowly and fun with some talented riders on largely natural terrain - horses for courses I guess, depends if your after super cinematography or epic riding...
